Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi David Greenstein looks at Masechet Beitza Daf 40.
Enjoying the sacred time of the festival is influenced by the spaces we inhabit. How far can we stretch the boundaries of space and still share a common experience? By applying the criterion of space to measure availability of animals for Yom Tov use – the topic of “muqtzeh” – the tractate returns to the topic it started with on page 2. But it does not really achieve closure.

We examine the relative values of human dignity, property values and the sacred atmosphere of Shabbat and Yom Tov. When such values come into conflict, which must make way before the other? The Talmud relates a story of an idealistic student and a pragmatic teacher. Who is right?
